This is basically the Rowley interview but on the side is a timeline of events.

Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't there supposed to be no reporting until the search is completed.??? Rowley is a Senior Police Officer , he obviously has caught the Redwood Bug, verbal diarrhoea.

I think it depends on what is being reported Panda. I think it may be no reporting on the current search itself until the search has been completed. The Portuguese know they can never stop the press writing about this case but they are now asking for compliance of Portuguese law around this current searching stage of the investigation. The timeline of events is another matter, put into the hands of the press 7 years ago by you know who!

Hi LJC, can you honestly see the Press keeping far away? The Police should never have told the media where it was intended to dig , why specifically let it be known ? I am surprised that Rowley has made a Statement . Theresa May has commented on the cost of all these investigations and is suggesting any future Investigations are paid for from the Police Fund . .....that sobered them up.

I'm not so sure the police know where to dig yet. That is the idea of the surveillance by the helicopter, but once any digging starts it will be difficult to hide, would you not agree? The press are just as bad in Portugal as in Britain, for it certainly sells papers.

Not sure what you mean that the Home Secretary Theresa May is supposed to have said.

There were photos of the aareas to be searched. One was near the Apartment, the other was around the Main Ocean Club building and the third was the Beach .

Theresa May mentioned all the money the Police have spent on various "Operations"", Madeleine , Celebrity prosecutions etc more than "£10 million" and instead of it coming out of taxpayers money she is saying it should come out of the Police Fund which would obviously make the police think twice before investigating. I'll see if I can find the Article.

Indeed it would. While the funding is extra to the Met 'allowance' they will be quite happy to spend it. Once it has to come out of their budget, they may well think differently.

I note that Rowley requests the press, "If you get any information ahead of our actions do not publish anything that may give suspects advance notice". However, he also said that British police will be updating "Kate and Gerry" McCann throughout the activity as they have been doing throughout the investigation. The "suspects" should not be given advance notice but "Kate and Gerry" will be kept updated. Two parents who abadoned Madeleine and who have profited financially ever since are being kept up-to-date on police activity. Madeleine, abandoned by her family is all but forgotten by them but not by thousands (millions?) around the world who seek justice for her. Rowley's comments today are just the latest in the Kate and Gerry show.
